So, I've just gotten back to the US from a year in Argentina and I'm surprised at the things that are surprising me. They are things that I took for granted before I left and then didn't exist in Argentina. Now that I'm back and things are supposed to be normal, these differences are stopping me in my tracks.
Things that don't exist in Argentina, most specifically in Buenos Aires
Diversity - culturally and racially
An entire aisle of cereals at the grocery store and a 1/2 aisle of granola bars
An abundance of vegetables
Large distances between shopping locations (ex. the strip mall)
Back yard trails
I will continue this list as I continue to discover new examples of reverse culture shock.
